More about working at The Plant

At The Plant, we believe firmly that employee growth drives our clients’ success. We encourage everyone to succeed by leading oneself, being reliable, communicating with care as well as ​​developing one’s own craft and supporting others to excel.

Working from home is fine, but a reliable internet connection and a quiet workspace is required. Because this role involves daily communication with Japanese clients, we’re looking for someone already based in Japan. Though we are 'remote first', we also enjoy getting together a few times a year for company events and team activities — a chance to connect face-to-face and celebrate our shared work.
